Maximization of operational workspace of a mobile manipulator system

This paper puts forward a proposition of designing manipulator setup on a mobile platform so as to enhance the Operational Workspace range of a given Mobile-Manipulator system, by introducing the concept of Installation angle. This concept is theoretically tested on a Mobile-manipulator system built from the chosen robots, for the given operational parameters. As a part of this testing, Manipulator workspace has been expressed and approximated in terms of its enclosure volume for quantitative comparability.
